World Asthma Day will be "celebrated" on Tuesday, May 1st this year. Asthma educators and health care groups worldwide have partnered to to raise awareness about asthma and improve asthma care throughout the world.
It's an annual event that is organized each year by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA for short). GINA's message is that asthma can be controlled—it does not have to limit your life, as long as you are getting the right treatment.
